"The first thing is, everybody knows how hard he's working," DeFilippo told Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. "He's going to give himself a chance to be a good player in this league, because of his work ethic. He and I are in communication every day. He's a gym rat here in this building. He loves being here, loves talking football, loves being around, playing the game. He's getting better everyday.

"The fact is, his strides he's made from his first day here in this offense to where he is now have been good. We've just got to keep doing that every day. We've got to keep moving him forward and he'll do that with his work ethic."

Pryor was a third-round selection in last year's supplemental draft after a successful but turbulent career at Ohio State.

"We all know Terrelle's got a unique set of skills in terms of his athleticism and he's coming along every day," DeFilippo told Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. "He's getting better and better every day in terms of knowing the offense and knowing where everyone's supposed to be."
